A fluorescent cyclotriveratrylene: synthesis, emission properties and acetylcholine recognition in water

Abstract: A fluorescent cyclotriveratrylene 1 was synthesized and characterized in methanol and water. Soluble in pure water and physiological media, compound 1 has binding properties towards acetylcholine. This detection is direct, contrary to most fluorescent systems which rely upon a competition principle between the guest and a fluorophore.

“…The upfield shift and broadening of the signal of the Me 4 N + cation in the presence of 1 6– could result from the interaction of the former with the latter in the fast exchange limit on the 1 H NMR timescale. Indeed, anionic, water‐soluble, and luminescent CTB derivatives have been shown to bind ACh and other quaternary ammonium salts significantly at pH 7.2 (physiological medium), with binding constants ranging between 63 and 2300 m –1 . Therefore, inhibition of the templating effect of Me 4 N + at higher molar ratios could arise from the saturation of the concave binding sites of 1 6– by this quaternary ammonium cation.…”

“…The concave-shaped cavity is responsible for the vast variety of supramolecular interactions with ionic and neutral small molecules [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]. Moreover, armed CTV can even coordinate large structures such as fullerenes, showing high flexibility towards different sizes of molecules [ 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ].…”

“…In this area, we recently reported the first fluorescent CTV that is able to recognize similarly ACh and Ch in aqueous media. 5 Its fluorescence, due to an intramolecular charge transfer between electron-withdrawing and donating groups, located on the aromatic cores of the CTV, is altered in the presence of the guest. The recognition is mainly due to p-cation interactions between the CTV aryl groups and the ammonium part of the guest.…”
